"Our client had reached out severally through relatives and emails to Mr Babangida to reconsider his actions and let her have the children back to no avail. Mr Babangida eventually returned the four kids to our client in June 2016. After this incident our client filed a suit which is still pending at an Abuja Area Court for the custody of the four children as provided under Islamic law.

Because of the actions and threat of Mr Babangida; our client’s family had to seek the protection of the Police and has been provided a round the clock police protection."
